Question

point j is located at (-5, -3) on the coordinate plane. point j is reflected over the y - axis to create point j. point j is then reflected over the x - axis to create point j. what ordered pair describes the location of j?

Explanation:

Step1: Reflect over y - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $y$-axis, the rule is $(-x,y)$. Given $J(-5,-3)$, then $J'=(5,-3)$.

Step2: Reflect over x - axis

When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected over the $x$-axis, the rule is $(x, -y)$. Since $J'=(5,-3)$, then $J''=(5,3)$.

Answer:

$(5,3)$
